For those planning on attending the Region 7 Tall Ships Rally in Duluth, Minnesota: Anyone that would like to purchase tickets for the opportunity to sail on Lake Superior aboard the Privateer Lynz, S/V Denis Sullivan, or the Schooner Hindu needs to do so starting April 1st. Each of these three vessels will sail several times daily, beginning Friday, July 26. It will not only provide an educational glimpse into daily life aboard a tall ship, but also the grandeur of experiencing Lake Superior under sail. The cost for these tickets is $95.00 per person AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR RALLY FEE. These tickets will sell out, so don’t delay if this is on your Bucket List.

If you are interested in doing this, you will need to purchase your ticket on Monday, April 1 at 10 AM (by either) online by going to www.visitduluth.com or calling 877-4FLY-TIX (1-877-435-9849).

If you are planning on attending the Region 7 Tall Ships Rally, the date of the Parade of the Tall Ships is the 25th of July. Vista Fleet Cruise Lines needs a firm head count by June 25, 2013, therefore rally fees need to be received by our Region Treasurer, Carolyn Grandstrand no later than June 24, 1013. This information has been updated on the Region 7 website and in the April issue of the Blue Beret. Please don’t wait to make reservations, as we are filling up quickly. Also remember that your Region Officers are going to be at the International Rally in Huron, so send in your reservations as soon as possible. Thank you. Linda Agre, Region 7 President
